It is very wise to store your 2FA codes separately from your general login credentials. If one is breached, the other protects it (hence, two factor). If both are breeched, your account is hosed.

Same deal when setting up 2FA on an account and they provide some ‘one time use’ 2FA codes, they generally say ‘do not store these with your standard password credentials - keep them secure and separate’.
